Interpreting Fair Use

• Purpose of the use
• Nature of the copyrighted work
• Amount used from the original work
• Effect of the use on the market

Key Questions

1. Did the use transform the material from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose, or did it repeat the work for the same intent and value?
2. Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?
